Rolling Stones Timmy. It's "me" trousers.
1) a real lawyer thinks about a file while in the toilet, not all of that. Bathroom time is not billable in and of itself.
2) Here's some Bathroom behavior I saw at biglaw.
New lateral GA comes in and he is a big-big dickhead. He has no interest in talking to, be nice to, etc. ANY other associates. He is only decent to Partners. He treats us like dirt. After a bit he decides he can tell young partners to die; he only needs the seniors- who sheep-like, as always, enjoy the regular anus-licking he provides.
So anyway, a few of us are bitching about him, and one guy tells the story of how he's standing next to him at a urinal. The shithead pees but doesn't flush. My buddy feels this is a sign of intense disrespect to him. I say maybe its just bad breeding (even then I was willing to give a guy a chance).
Soon after, I'm at the urinal next to him: he pees-doesn't flush. A few hours later I'm walking past the restroom door when dickhead is going in. I also see big partner going in. I think here is the proof of my bad breeding theory. I go in to do a fake pee and observe.
Dickhead standing next to GP, pees and flushes. It wasn't bad breeding. The guy was so warped and so competitive (?) or something that he wanted to show his distain for us by not flushing. This is the worse GA I knew.
Bad GA stories?
